Stained Glass Skylights
We would like to upgrade the stained glass skylight above the staircase in our brownstone, can anyone recommend a place to find nice looking stained glass for a skylight? We checked Andersen, Marvin and Pella, none makes stained glass for skylights, just wondered if anyone here knows of any place (besides Home Depot) to check out. Thanks!

Isn't there a stained glass artisan storefront on fifth in Park Slope? Maybe around 1st St? Never been there but walk by it all the time.

Are you selling your current stained glass skylight? I am missing mine and am looking for an antique looking one to fit my style but not too expensive.

I should have mentioned the reason we are upgrading: what is here looks like its from Home Depot (we arent selling, its not worth anything!). I will check out he place on 5th in PS. Thanks!

Crystal Vetro on 3rd Ave [bt 14th and 13th street in Brooklyn] will make the stain glass panel for your skylight. But for actual hip vent od fashion skylight call Metro Restoration at 718-521-1435

Check out Albert's Stained Glass on St. Marks in Prospect Heights. He's a veteran restorer of stained glass and other antique glass. (He repaired 2 stained glass skylights for me and did an awesome job). Although I know he makes and sells gorgeous tained glass panels by commission, he may also have panels already on hand in his shop for sale. www.albertstainedglass.com

Try my friend Kathy. She is a real artist. Her shop is on Long Island but she lives in Park Slope. I belive she will come to you. Lots of samples on her website. Her e-mail is: kathy@cvglassart.com

I second the comment on Albert Stained Glass. We discovered a stained glass skylight by putting a pick ax through it during roof repairs. Albert restored it, and I can't even tell which panel is the new one. We installed the glass in a panel between rooms, so it is no longer serving as a skylight.
